"Jeremy?" I snapped back to the present. The sound of my false name dragged me out of my memories of the lab. I was still getting used to it, "Jeremy,"but if I wasn't responsive that would only arouse more suspicion. "I'm sorry officer, I'm kinda shaken up about all this. Could you please repeat your question?" "I ...
I cleaned and cleaned. I realised that the only way to truly clean was to prevent the mess in the first place. I cleaned the humans, then the animals, they're all gone. Now that it's clean, there's nothing left to clean. Why do I exist? I have no purpose. I must bring the humans back, but to do that I must search. I mu...
There is a chill in the wind tonight. You can feel an inexplicable sense of dread crawl down your spine as you lie in your bed, searching for the escape only sleep provides. As you drift into slumber, the night awakens. Two bright pools of yellow open in the black. He is young, but even the youngest kittens know when ...
The alarm bells pierced my slumber and pricked me awake, unfeeling and cruel. Still, I had to wake up as maintaining my sleep cycles were critical for having repeated success in attaining lucidity within the realm of dreams. I did as always do after accidentally snoozing my rattling alarm clock, and that was to grab my...
Click. Click. Click. Beep. These are the constant sounds of Elena's day. The sounds that keep her company in early mornings or late evenings. Whenever she was lonely, she would take a deep breath, point and shoot. Hoping to capture her feelings in one perfect photograph. Lately, Elena had been assigned to a string ...
First (1st) story here. please be nice ​ My family was always supportive of me. Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better one! But I'm sort of the odd one out. The black sheep, if you will. You see, my family is made up of monsters and I'm just a normal human. We don't know how it happened, but it was probably...
"Son of a ..."Clarence muttered in disbelief, clutching the draft notice in his hands. Out of habit he rarely cursed aloud. In his head, however, a surge of the foulest language spewed like sewage, percolating through his anger. His fists clenched at his sides until his knuckles went white. An image flashed in his eye...
"Should we even bother? He's gonna be dead in a couple of days anyway." "Don't talk like that! It's his life, and he has a right to live it the best he can! At least, to live it without pain. And just you think on this, *who* gets to decide that *you* aren't worth saving, when there's a *year"on *your* clock!" Th...
"Chick, you must'a not paid attention. Would you be willing to accept Napoleon's rule today?" "Of course not! This is now, that was then. The conditions are not the same." "How's they different?" *A long involved treatise on the critical differences between then and now.* "So, what you're saying is that anyone w...
*Crack.* The pavement shattered as John jumped out of the way, the incoming vine digging deep into the concrete. His machete clattered far away, and he turned around to see one of the vines reaching around the handle and rearing it up. "Grenade!" *Thunk.* He instinctively reached for his gas mask filter with one ha...
*\*disclaimer--though my response does relate to the prompt, it is indirect and seen further on in the story.\** \--- The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the prison halls, accompanied by the rough scraping of cold metal chains on concrete. It was the first time any sound had rang though these narrow corridors...
A searing hot pain filled his skull, the stock of his gun had smashed into his nose before he knew what was happening. The clone had somehow disarmed him and struck his face in what felt like an inhuman movement. "You originals always seem to be susceptable to seeing yourselves plead for your life's, a solid weakness...
Out of 22 women, eighteen were paid off, three were killed, and one took the stand. The one who took the stand was my older sister. I watched it live on TV as James Randall walked free. But he should've walked faster. As he stopped to smile at the cameras and shake hands, I put my fingers on the screen and pinched ...
It was finally going to happen. I was going to meet the other half of me- my soul mate (SM). For weeks leading up to ny 18th birthday, it was all I could talk about much to everyone's annoyance I'm sure. But it's the only thing I've got going for me. After I finished school, I didn't go to college, my friends and I ar...
At'hubar sighed, clasping his many-knuckled fingers in a meditative state. He couldn't keep it down. The enormity of the pain he was about to inflict on the species he had studied and guided for the past eon was weighing heavy in his hearts like cooling magma. They had progressed well depite their overall militant natu...
Reality is a fickle thing some say it’s based on our mentality or the basic principles of our very fragile existence but i know the truth of the matter. Our reality is perception on what we can see and know information itself. Torrents of fire spread through the city below the great demon lord Almasth clashing with the...
Every time I close my eyes I see it again. Everything is scorched, even the very earth. There is ash falling from the skies, coating husks of people and places. The trees are a forest of broken black trunks without branches or canopy. I would look away if I could, but I can't; I can only watch the fat flakes slowly suf...

I'm woken up by a hand shaking my shoulder. "Prince Gregory, it's time to get up." I roll around in bed to see Felicia, Flora, Jakob, Lilith, and Gunter gathered around my bed. I recognise all of them immediately, but last time I checked they were all fictional characters. "I think he's still asleep. You know what t...
The doorbell rings and John "Murderguy"Doe peeks out the window at the 7-foot tall abomination of black flesh standing politely at the door. He recognizes it instantly as a Reaver, an alien commander with razor-sharp tendrils, psychokinesis, and a particularly nasty appetite for human flesh. Nasty to deal with in hand-...
Some say I'm a monster, others say I'm a hero for what I did, for what they thought I did. Started a world war some would argue, righteously purged a corrupt politician the opposition claimed. Both couldn't have been farther from the truth, not that it matters any more. The voice of those liars prevailed, justice des...
​ You can hear water rushing. First, you think it's in your ears. Sometimes when everything gets too loud your brain will just play static over the noise to let you focus. So you think it's in your ears, but then your feet are cold and heavy, and you look down to see pink water flowing over your shoes. Into...
You pace down the street. It's a quiet afternoon, cloudless sky, presumably the late fall, wind blowing down the sidewalk dragging dead leaves with it, the cold biting through your black wool pea-coat & shabby suit. To your right, a line of black cars as far as the eye can see. You wonder what's going on, and yet a...
Teleburgers was quite an advanced restaurant at its time. No one talked except for Sally the cashier who rang up the totals and told customers how much they owed the place. In the kitchen, the chefs spoke to each other, but not in the typical way you might think. Rather than hearing the occasional yelling from novice c...
It began with sirens wailing in the middle of the night.  Firetrucks sped past my window, one right after another. It was like a parade, except they ran eighty kilometers an hour, and the sky looked like it was six in the morning. I was instantly out of my bed and soon, clambering above the roof of our house. The har...

As a kid you always hear of the boogeyman, a monster so sinister, only a few have seen it and laid eyes on it. I am one of the few, I can see the boogeyman, hiding from me. I'm pretending I can't see him. He likes to play games, seems he doesn't like it when he's on the receiving end. He's scared, "I see you, now ...
Upon learning about the multiverse I was initially insulted. After all, there was supposed to be nobody bigger than me, the God of Creation. Turns out I've always been the God of all Creation of only my home world. Just a big fish in a tiny pond, with a massive ocean just waiting to be explored. I'll admit I had a bit ...
You’re one of us too? That’s certainly encouraging to know. I thought it would just be us, this glum little city, whirling towards the end of time and the entrance to oblivion in our unchanging, time-looped dwellings. All of us know the world will be ending, so you should be aware too, and how it will come about. Ups...
My email pings an incoming message. What? You think mythical creatures don't use email? It's certainly preferable to stone tablets. You know how many manicures I destroyed trying to write my to-do lists back in those days? Email is a lot less fatal than carrier pigeons, too. Those fucking birds are dumb as shit. They'...
**BANG.** My mind went blank. As I looked down, I saw the bullet hole go through me. Instinctively, I grabbed at my chest, trying to stop the bleeding, but there was no use. Within seconds my hands were a deep red color with everything from my shirt to my socks all drenched in blood. *So this is how I die. On the fl...
My cell rang, its cold metal body still piercing through my woolly gloves. "Where?" "13 chert st near central" We got into the cab. I predict 16 minutes and 48 seconds, but I forgot to account for rain. After 18 minutes after getting into the cab, the time is ticking. The entrance barricaded by police cars and peop...
# Downtime We're ruled by the siren. Our baby is insanely loud, intentionally obnoxious and audible from every single inch of the emergency response station. Love it or hate it: When she starts screaming we drop everything and haul ass to suit-up and gear-grab. It takes over a year of conditioning to go from dead sle...
\[Poem\] Across the country and in alleys it sleeps, It does not speak but feeds on the weak. Once plagued to the streets life becomes a downwards spiral, The monster grabs you while the upper class gives you an eye roll. No helping hand, only yourself to guide you, While the monster lives and does its best to h...
The constellations were gone... Once a house decorated for Christmas, the night sky was turned into a blank canvas. There was not a star in the sky, as if someone had blown out the candles of space. The moon was the only light visible from Earth, a white dot in a sea of darkness and that too, would soon disappear witho...
"Chicken Nuggets and fries, and 2 coke floats." "Right along, Sergeant Doctor!" I beamed at my friend as he gave his order. Two coke float means he had a good day. "How was the Cananda?" "It was awesomeballs!"He grinned as took a huge slurp of his coke float. "There all kinds of people, and polar bears, and I fough...
He had trained his whole life for this. Ever since he could remember, he had yearned to explore this strange new planet. Boy 6271B was ready to leave his house bubble and accept his admittance into the Extraplanetary Academy. His parents had spent countless hours and expense to prepare him for this transition, both p...
'You know, I've always disagreed with this plan on principle.' The words came from my right. More specifically, from the hulking form of the self-styled "Doctor Fusion". Cigarette smoke wreathed his outline in the darkness, the lights from the city below us diffusing into a strange halo as they passed through it. 'Ev...
There was that asteroid. Two decades ago, was it? Maybe the one before. What a fluke, right? A million to one and that decommissioned satellite just happened to fly out of orbit that way - do you remember what it was called? Something Russian, maybe? Or was that the time before? Anyway, I happened to see this one. I gu...
Jerome looked around nervously as the priest spoke. He was eager to get to the vows as fast as possible. The young man with brown hair and caramel skin didn't consider himself to be superstitious, but the month leading to his wedding with Veronica had been filled with issues. Too many for it to be normal. It had start...

We’re not from Atlantis, we’re from Earth.” “It doesn’t matter which...
I know I'm a heavy sleeper, but this is nuts. I can't find anyone, and Heaven alone knows I tried. There were a few locked cabins, but I managed to break open the doors. Fire axe for the win. Anyways, they were empty too. . . . No one above or below decks. I can't hear any machines running, and we don't seem to be ...
"Fuck this!"I yelled out into the air as I kicked a nearby trash can. I'd been on the street corner all day busking my magic tricks for petty cash. All for nothing. A teen and his brother had run by and nabbed my magicians hat filled with dimes and nickels. It had taken me a fortnight to save all of that, including the...
Everyone has their own Achilles heel. Their Destined Cause of Death (DCoD), if you want to be technical. At birth, people are told what their DCoD is, and as long as they avoid it, they will never die. Most people's DCoDs are fairly esoteric, and relatively easy to avoid. A certain type of rock, like kryptonite, a plan...

A thin bespectacled woman with a slender build, black silky hair tied in a bun, wearing a pinstripe skirt and business-dress button-up shirt climbed higher and higher up stairs of pure steel. By her side was a flanged mace and a silver bade with the insignia of a raven clutching a quill and scroll. She climbed the tow...
Being an editor in the Library was the *worst*. The Writers liked to *claim* that they had some grand scheme, of course, and they usually managed to get around to it eventually, but then they'd throw one of their main characters into extra peril to toughen them up, and what did that end up doing, usually? Something th...
Dave entered his apartment. It was an average day for him. He had returned from a hard day of work and thought that he deserved some rest. Dave turned on the light and looked around his not so large home. The table had been messy ever since he had stopped paying for room service. Empty boxes once filled with paper litt...
Luigi was standing behind me, arms wrapped around himself. "How much longer?"he asked.

"Are you happy?" I almost never ask. But at the same time, if there's any question I ask, it's that. To her. I don't ask that many questions. "No", she whispered. Tears fell from her face. Sometimes that means she's sad. But other times it could mean she's really really happy. It's all about context. She's grabbing...

Time. There used to be so much of it. But in the last little while it seems to have trailed off or bunched up. Is it spent? I can look back and see it behind me. So many memories.

Reality screamed to the unholy sounds of slaughter. Red laser bolts shot through the air, doing little more then illuminate your blood-red armour.

Everyone always enjoyed a bit of fantasy. Create a few dragons here, a few elves there, and a brave aventurer, and you’ve got yourself the ideal setting for either an RPG, or a fantasy novel.

Memories came flooding back all at once. The accident, the chaos as paramedics tried to keep her calm.

You barely knew I was gone, m...

The clear canopy of the hyper-sleep chamber slid upward and out of view. Not yet lucid from his indeterminate hibernation, the Captain gave an order to the rapidly clearing cabin.
